The 16 Vermont faith community members signing this open letter, from Vermont Interfaith Action's Clergy and Church Elder Caucus, include Guy Wood (Brattleboro Area Jewish Community), Rev. Telos Whitfield (All Souls U.U. Church, Brattleboro), and Rev. Ralph W. Howe (First United Methodist Church of Brattleboro, Vt./The Beloved Community). The letter comes to us via Mike Mrowicki, an organizer for VIA.
We are writing as leaders of faith communities from across the state of Vermont to express our deep concern that religious freedom is under attack from members of our federal government using the guise of white Christian nationalism as stated in Project 2025.
